Is Sarracenia Rubra toxic to cats?

No — sarracenia rubra is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats. It is a sensible choice for a home with a cat; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. Sarracenia rubra is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but its Sarraceniaceae family relative the California pitcher plant (Darlingtonia californica) is ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, and pitcher plants carry no recognised toxic principle. Treated as pet-safe; the digestive fluid is a mild enzyme and the deep narrow tubes are nearly impossible for a pet to reach, though chewing leaves may cause minor stomach upset.

Yes — the ASPCA lists sarracenia rubra as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Sarracenia Rubra is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full sarracenia rubra pet-safety guide for both species.
